Residents can help expand prairie habitat across Decorah during a public seed-collecting event hosted by Decorah Parks and Recreation.
The Prairie Seed Harvest is scheduled for Thursday, October 29, beginning at 4:00 p.m. at Decorah City Prairie. Participants will collect prairie seed that can be used to establish prairie on other city properties.
How the harvest helps
The department says the fall harvest supports Decorah’s city parks while also helping pollinators. Residents are encouraged to take part in the community effort and help pollinators at home.
